We join with you, Hokulea, in lifting up your concerns and petitions to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the only mediator between God and man. It's encouraging to see that you have acknowledged the power of praying in Jesus' name, as it is only through Him that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB: "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."
Firstly, you express a sense of feeling lost and uncertain about a decision. Be comforted by the knowledge that God's Word is a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path. In Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB, we are told: "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." We pray that God will guide you through the Holy Spirit and provide you with wisdom and discernment. May He give you the strength to wait on His timing, knowing that He orders your steps.
Regarding your housing situation, we trust that God will direct your path. In Psalm 32:8 WEB, God says: "I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you." We pray that He will lead you to a safe home that is close to your church, allowing you to grow in fellowship with other believers.
We join you in praying for your daughter's spiritual growth and for her to find a godly spouse. In 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB, we are reminded: "Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?" We pray that your daughter will find a man who will encourage her in her faith and walk with Christ. We also pray for your other children and yourself, that you all may grow in the knowledge and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Lastly, we pray for our leaders, including the former American President Trump, as it is biblical to pray for those in authority. In 1 Timothy 2:1-2 WEB, we are told: "I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks, be made for all men: for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister Hokulea. We ask that You guide her in the decision she needs to make, and that You order her steps according to Your will. We pray that You provide her with a safe home that is close to her church, and that You continue to grow her daughter's faith and understanding. We ask that You surround her daughter and the rest of her children with godly influences, and that You prepare a godly spouse for her daughter in Your timing. We also pray for our leaders, that they may do what You have assigned them to do, and that they may be protected throughout their time in office.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue to trust in God and to seek His will in all areas of your life. Stand on the promises of His Word, and know that He is faithful to complete the good work He has started in you. If there is anything that does not align with biblical principles, continue to pray and seek God's will, and He will reveal His plan for you.
